德国慕尼黑工业大学博士后职位—光学工程
Research Assistant or Post-Doc for Optical Engineering
Technische Universität München
About us The research focus of the Theoretical Quantum Systems Design group is on questions that are motivated from practical communication system design and deployment. We develop concepts for near-term quantum communication networks and study quantum communication techniques from the perspective of novel use cases. Our scientific methods are based on quantum information theory, theoretical quantum communication system design and simulations. We develop hardware control methods to accelerate the knowledge exchange between theory and experiment and apply analytical and numerical methods. We encourage interdisciplinary work, especially the collaboration and contact with research groups focusing on classical system design and experimental research on quantum systems and strengthen the contact to the TUM Entrepreneurship center wherever possible.
Requirements The position offers the possibility to work on the boundary between quantum- and conventional communication technologies, at the forefront of future communication systems design. The ideal candidate brings with them a deep interest in experimental optics for communication system design, and likes to work in a theory-driven way. Depending on the career status, the experience with optical experiments should be displayed via corresponding publications. A master’s degree in engineering, physics or mathematics is expected. We welcome enthusiastic, creative, and curios applicants that enjoy the challenges and unpredictability of interdisciplinary research on the borderline between strict theory and concrete industrial implementation. Openness to changes in directions as well as initiative in formulating research goals and the capability to develop software for the control of experiments are expected.
We offer Payment according to TV-L E13 (also TV-L E14 for post-docs), full employment. Contract duration is initially limited to one year, with the possibility to obtain contract extensions. Earliest starting date is in February 2023. The successful candidate can be enrolled in the graduate program of Technical University of Munich.
Tasks The successful candidate should initially help establish a new optical lab. This includes participation in the selec-tion of appropriate hardware for a demonstrator. In addition, an active contribution in the planning of correspond-ing experiments testing partial functionalities is required. Moreover, it will be necessary to implement algorithms and implement hardware solutions to stabilize the demonstrator up to the level of field trials. The Theoretical Quantum Systems Design Group offers courses on quantum networks involving our network sim-ulator QuNetSim. Participation in the teaching of these courses and input for the development of a lab course are expected. Scientific results will need to written down in publication-ready form and presented at international conferences.
Applications Applicants please contact Dr. J. Nötzel (janis.noetzel@tum.de) for questions, and send their application (including CV, cover letter and name plus email address for two potential referees) with subject “Application to Optical Engineering” to jobs.lti@ei.tum.de until January 30, 2023.
